V.M., I would have thought that sending to the Kindle app would be the same as sending to a Kindle, but I Googled it and got these instructions: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/android

I hope that does it for you!

Obviously, the ‘send to Kindle’ doesn’t work. Do you know how to send it to the Kindle app on a non-Kindle tablet? I’ve struggled for ages with that.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Gill. This is good to know!

Authors often offer me a PDF, but since I prefer to read e-books on my Kindle rather than a computer or iPad or other e-reader, I still need to email the PDF file to my Kindle email address. The people you send your PDFs to might not share my device reading preference…or they might know about the Kindle email address process. In my experience, though, the typical consumer doesn’t even know they have a Kindle email address. (I write that knowing that my experience is not universal, though, and that there are other e-readers besides Kindles!)

Thanks for the feedback!

As you probably know, Calibre can be used to convert books (or any other document for that matter) from a docx to an ebook or pdf, or from any of those formats into another. However, I’m not sure I’ve ever myself transferred an ebook emailed to me onto my Kindle so thanks for the lesson.

I narrate audio books and often get the manuscript as a PDF which I then attach to an email and send to my Kindle address. Just put the word ‘convert’ in the subject line (only convert, nothing else or it may mess it up) and you will then be able to change font size on Kindle as usual. Occasional errors may occur in the text but usually not enough to worry about
